Honda Aviator Exterior

In terms of design, theAviator is a total departure from the looks of the Dio or Activa. Its bold, futuristic aesthetic, inspired by the Fireblade, is clearly targeted at young adult male drivers who want to make a statement. In contrast to the softer design of the Activa, intended to be female-friendly, the Aviator has a distinctly masculine edge. The bike's body, a highly rigid underbone chassis type, weighs 103kg dry, making it less bulky than the Honda Activa thanks to the combination of metal and highly impact-resistant ABS structure. The bike's build quality is good, and it looks strong and sophisticated, with smart metal panelling and wrap-around turning indicators at the rear. There are few downsides to its clear and striking design, but the warning indicators are quite difficult to see in bright sunlight.

Instrument Console of Honda Aviator

The instrument console has much to recommend it, although thelack of digital displayis disappointing for a modern vehicle of this kind. The analogue speedometer and fuel gauge are clear and easy to read, and the fuel, oil and battery indicators can all be read at a glance.

Engine and Gearbox

Honda Aviator 110 is powered by a109cc, single-cylinder, 4-stroke, air-cooled OHC engine with a maximum power of8 bhp at 8000 rpmand a maximum torque of9 nm at 5500 rpm, making it above average in terms of power for a scooter of this kind. It comes with V-matic transmission.

Acceleration and Top Speed

With itspowerful engine and lightweight body, the Aviator is capable of excellent acceleration, achieving 0 to 60kph in just 9.95 seconds, making it a bit speedier than the Honda Activa. Its maximum speed is roughly 85kph, a respectable achievement.

Honda Aviator Mileage

Honda claims that the Aviator boasts15% better fuel efficiencythan its previous models, but it's not clear that this is borne out in reality. Like other gearless scooters, the Aviator's fuel efficiency is disappointing to say the least, although its lighter frame means that it performs better than Honda's other offerings in this market. Users have found that, as advertised, the Aviator delivers an average mileage of between 42 and 45 km per litre. Its fuel tank has a capacity of 6 litres.

Comfort While Driving Honda Aviator

Overall, the Honda Aviator is acomfortable ride for all drivers. The bike's upright KVTA seat has been well designed to position the driver in a stable and secure way that minimizes fatigue, even when riding for long periods of time. The shoe-type seats of the driver and pillion rider are longer, wider and more spacious, with plenty of space and comfortable footrests and pegs.

Safety Features

Honda Aviator features a generously sized multi-focal headlamp with a 35-watt halogen lamp. The patented Honda tuff-up tubes are present, helping to minimize the chance of tyre punctures by an estimated 70%. Disappointingly, the scooter lacks advanced locking system.

Storage Space

The Honda Aviator displays Honda's emphasis on storage space, in recognition of the fact that the bike will be used by many families and inner-city commuters who have need of space to stow a few items. The under seat storage capacity is a generous 20 litres, an improvement on the 18 litres of the Activa - this places it equal with the Rodeo's 20 litre capacity, large enough to fit a helmet or bag.

Honda Aviator Suspension

The Honda Aviator featuresfront telescopic suspension; at the rear, it boasts unit swing suspension with spring-loaded hydraulic dampers. The front suspension is particularly effective on this bike, significantly improving the quality and comfort of the ride and providing better overall control and stability at high speeds, as well as lower vibration and feedback.

Honda Aviator Brakes

The Aviator Deluxe model features a 130mm drum or190mm disc brakeat the front, and a 130mm drum brake at the back. The Standard model features 130mm drum brakes on the front and rear. The brakes feel balanced, stable and, most importantly, responsive - even when travelling at high speed or carrying heavy cargo.

Ride and Handling

The bike's handling is particularly good for moving in and out of traffic, and itsports good pick-up. The bike's more refined mill offers a better ride with significantly less noise, and, coupled with the improved suspension, makes for a smoother and more stable ride than Honda's previous models. Its wide tyres also contribute to its stability, and the bike does not display any bias during leaning, maintaining its balance well.

Tyre Size

While the other Honda models have retained a 10-inch wheel front and back, the Aviator is unusual in featuring differing sizes. Its rear wheel is the standard 10-inch (3.50-10 51J), but the front wheel (90/90-12 54J) has been bumped up to a meaty 12 inches, in order to accommodate a larger disc brake.

Accessories

Like many scooters in this market segment, the Aviator includes few accessories - drivers wishing to customize their ride will have to purchase guards, body covers, bumpers, seat covers and other items separately.

Honda Aviator 110 Variants

Like the Activa, the Honda Aviator was launched in two versions:the Standard and the Deluxe. The differences between the two variants are not substantial.

Distinctive Features of Honda Aviator 110

Unlike many models in the market, the Aviator sadly does not feature a mobile phone charging socket, which is a small but significant oversight.
